On my trip to Brazil my friend and I had several conversations that we brought up spiritual things and talked about Christ. Here is a quick summary of several of those:
· An very sweet college student on the plane, who is a Jew by upbringing who hasn’t decided about matters of faith personally.
· A Haitian cab driver in Miami, who says he prays to Jesus, believes in voodoo. He believes voodoo is of the devil, but that some voodoo is for good.
· An author we met at Starbucks who writes about the (government) system deceiving us but doesn't think anybody should preach to anyone else.
· Trafficans (drug dealers) in the favela (slum) who wanted us to pray for them.
· A masseuse in Rio who believes a little Eastern religion, some New Age thought, and some Christ teaching, and has no problem mixing them.
Rather than writing about what we said, I thought I would ask you, what would you say to them? You can respond to any or all of them. Just click the “Comments” link above this entry, next to the date, and share what you would say.
